I think that's not only ugly, but it'd be a huge pain in the ass to use as well!

Admire the way they sell this stuff though - personally, it serves no purpose whatsoever, yet folks will spend lots of money on a piece of aesthetics which is a hindrance rather than a help!

playing devil's advocate here, did you all just look at the picture and post 'that's ugly' because the reason for its shinyness is not the looks but the tech. yes the front panel is pointless but the rest of the case design is rather nifty, like the front loading HDD bays for example.

C'mon people, some kind of semi intellegent discussion that goes beyond the colour of the case is all i ask.

The colours fine - it's the shape that awful.... it could be a bit of bodywork that fell off of Rusty's evo :twisted:



Theres a review of it here http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2008/05/22/first-look-acer-aspire-predator-gaming-pc/1

TBH I've never found a use for things such as hot-plug HDDs on a single user machine, only servers
The fact it wasn't fully watercooled was odd.

functionallity does not make something pretty. It looks ugly. I'm not saying its a bad case technically, it just looks ugly

[edit] after reading gen's review, i'm upping the ante to "really fecking ugly". Whats with the knobly plastic on the front!?
